Part-time power has no commercial value, which is why wind and solar are utterly pointless. Every single MW of wind or solar has to be “backed up” with another MW from a dispatchable source, which in the main means coal, gas, nuclear or hydro. Contemplate where your power comes from on a calm night, and … Continue reading No Hopers: Inability to Deliver On Demand Makes Wind & Solar Utterly Pointless

Grand Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Crushing Retail Power Bills
Propagandists pushing the wind and solar transition are struggling to explain away the crushing power bills that inevitably follow. Every state or country (without exception) that is attempting to run on sunshine and breezes suffers rocketing retail power bills. Wind powered Denmark and wind and solar powered Germany suffer Europe’s highest power prices, by a … Continue reading Grand Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Crushing Retail Power Bills
Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Crushing Power Prices With Much Worse to Come
Think your power bill is crushing now; the worst is yet to come. The grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is - according to the 5 year planners - in its infancy, but already the effects of heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar are being spelt out in record retail power bills. To reach … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Crushing Power Prices With Much Worse to Come
Retail Power Prices Reveal True & Crushing Costs of Subsidised Wind & Solar
20 years of subsidised wind and solar has caused retail power prices to double or even triple over that period. Attempting to duplicate a perfectly working power generation and distribution system with one that ‘works’, at best, 30% of the time (on average) and never works on calm nights - was always going to end … Continue reading Retail Power Prices Reveal True & Crushing Costs of Subsidised Wind & Solar
Terrified Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Drive Crazed Anti-Nuclear Stance
Over the last 20 years, the energy narrative has been owned by those profiting from the grand wind and solar scam. These days, not so much. Now that a raft of countries around the world have embraced nuclear power, crony capitalists have recognised ever-reliable nuclear as a clear and present danger. Because (unlike wind and … Continue reading Terrified Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Drive Crazed Anti-Nuclear Stance
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth Busted: When Delusion & Reality Collide
Harnessing energy was the secret of success for every first world economy. Destroying the systems that delivered it will be the reason for their demise and ultimate failure. The notion that wind and solar can deliver the kind of power upon which those economies were built is nothing more than a grand delusion, driven by … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth Busted: When Delusion & Reality Collide
California’s Wind & Solar Calamity: Power Prices Rocketing Out of Control
There’s no mystery as to why California suffers the highest prices and routine load shedding and blackouts: in 2018, California had 80 GW of installed generation capacity encompassing more than 1,500 power plants; with 41 GW of natural gas, 26.5 GW of ‘renewables’ (12 GW solar, 6 GW wind), 12 GW of large hydroelectric, and … Continue reading California’s Wind & Solar Calamity: Power Prices Rocketing Out of Control
Pointless Duplication: America to Squander $3.5 Trillion to Connect Far-Flung Wind & Solar
In the beginning, engineers designed power transmission grids to connect a few generators to millions of power users. Nowadays, ideologues reckon they can connect thousands of generators, spread far and wide, to power users who haven't moved an inch. The cost of doing so, is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Worse still, the … Continue reading Pointless Duplication: America to Squander $3.5 Trillion to Connect Far-Flung Wind & Solar
Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
Generating occasional power in far-flung places means connecting wind turbines and solar panels, and that comes with a staggering additional cost. Costs that are totally avoidable and entirely unnecessary, when one considers that no one was short of power before the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ took off. In Australia, it’s reckoned that the current … Continue reading Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere
Once upon a time, the object was delivering power to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Not anymore. Chaotically delivered and heavily subsidised wind and solar have another object, and it is not one that their proponents dare speak of. If delivering reliable and affordable power were the object, then no one would be talking about … Continue reading Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere
